Oh, How Easily A Poll Can Shift
As of yesterday afternoon, The Dark Unknown led the Ultima fan projects poll with 13.3% of the vote; Nuvie was hot on its heels with 12.5% (and the actual difference between those scores was a mere two votes!).
This morning, however, there has been something of a seismic shift in the poll results. The Dark Unknown is still (barely!) in the lead, with 19.2% of the vote (65 votes in total). However, Nuvie has slipped to third place, and now commands 10.6% of the vote (36 votes in total). Ultima IX: Redemption, meanwhile, has surged into second place with 18.3% of the vote (62 votes in total).
I might have activated some UIX Redemption fans by tweeting about it and putting it up on the homepage and forum the day before yesterday. Also thanks by the really nice description of the project in the podcast!
that should say “thanks for the….” not “by the” of course …
Heh, of course. And you’re welcome! Your project didn’t dominate the news overall this year, but what it did show was impressive.
There was definitely an uptick in U9R votes after the weekend.
in reply to the other post above: thanks! there will be more news this year about something playable, some time after the poll is over, no matter if we’ll be 1st, 2nd or maybe 3rd 🙂
I am suitably teased and duly intrigued.
